The prediction
St Kilda (12th) are fresh off the bye in Round 13. In Round 12, they secured a convincing 28-point victory over Melbourne (91-63), showcasing a welcome return to form. They have won only two of their past five games.
The Western Bulldogs (9th) are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 81-59 loss to Hawthorn in Round 13. Their recent form has also been inconsistent, having won just two of their last five games despite pushing many of the top sides to the limit.
St Kilda's Dan Butler was impactful in their R12 win against Melbourne, booting 4 crucial goals.
For the Bulldogs, Bailey Dale was a standout performer in their loss to the Hawks, providing 30 disposals at high efficiency.
The Western Bulldogs dominated the last encounter earlier this season, recording a comprehensive 127-56 victory.
This is a game with significant ladder implications. The Saints will be well-rested, while the Bulldogs will be desperate to atone for last week's performance. Expect a high-pressure, contested battle.
